Tremendous Sacrifice

Chapter 4

I looked around scared and did not know what to say to the hat. He was planning something and I did not know what he had in mind. Right then the hat spoke up and said,

"Slytherin!"

I looked over to Ginny and Luna. I could not believe this was happening. I slowly walked over to the Slytherin's table and sat down. I looked around the table and saw that I was next to Severus Snape himself. I did not know what to do or say.

The feast started and I did not know who to talk to. I recognize a few faces that would-be death eaters. I questioned if they were already a death eater or not. I heard someone spoke up and asked,

"So, do you miss your old school?"

I turned and saw the person that was talking to me was Regulus Black. I wanted to gasp but caught myself. I smiled to him and asked,

"And you would be?"

"Oh, I'm Regulus Black."

"Nice to meet you." I did not know what else to say. Right then I felt arms around me and I turned to see that it was Ginny and Luna. Ginny slipped me something on my lap and I looked down. Luna whispered,

"So we can keep in contact with each other."

I nodded and gave them both a hug. They stood there for a few minutes and I could see that everyone was starring at us. I just shook my head and said,

"You should go. I will talk to you soon."

They nodded and went back to Gryffindor. I sighed and placed my head on the table. I felt a hand on my back and I grabbed and turned to see it was Regulus. He looked shocked that I defended myself. I let go and said,

"Sorry. I am just very cause lately."

"Well, that was impressive. I just wanted to know if you were alright?" Regulus asked.

I nodded and just got up and walked out of the Great Hall with the rest of the Slytherins. Before I left I turned to look at my two best friends one last time.

*Ginny's POV*

I looked over to Luna and she had the same look in her eyes. We were both worried about Hermione. She was not going to have us tonight and it was going to be hard on her. Luna rubbed my back in comfort. I sighed and asked,

"She'll be alright. Right?"

Luna nodded and said,

"She will be alright. She's Hermione."

*Remus POV*

I was about to leave the Great Hall with the guys but then turned to see the two new girls just standing there. They had concern in their eyes. I walked over to them and asked,

"Do you need some help finding your way to Gryffindor's common room?"

The redhead looked over to the blonde and nodded.

"Thank you. I'm Ginny and this is Luna. And you are?" Ginny asked.

"I am Remus." I introduced myself.

"So this is where you snuck up to." A voice said behind me.

I knew who the voice was. It was my close best friend Sirius. I turned around to see all three of them standing there. I just smiled to them and said,

"Well, Ginny Luna these are my best friends Sirius Black, James Potter, and Peter Pettigrew."

"Well, it's nice to meet you." Luna said smiling.

I saw the girls look over to where looking at and saw they were watching their friend leave. It must be hard to be separated from their friends. I looked back to them and said,

"Are you alright?"

They looked back to me and Ginny said,

"Yeah, it is just hard to be separated from each other. We have grown up with each other and we are inseparable. It is a little hard. This is the first time since we have been little. It's harder on her because she is the oldest and protective of us."

I nodded and looked over to Sirius. If I knew one person that would understand everything about what they are going through it would be him. We all started to head out and I turned to look at Sirius to see him starring at the girl.

*Hermione's POV*

I had a feeling of eyes on me. I turned to look over to see Sirius Black staring at me. I did not know what to think. I left the group of Slytherins that were trying to suck up to me. I gave Ginny and Luna a hug.

"Are you alright?" Luna asked.

"I will be fine. How about you?" I asked.

Ginny nodded and Luna just gave a smile. I looked over to the guys starring at us. It made me laugh at how awkward. I smirked to the girls and they turned to introduced me.

"Boys this is our best friend Hermione. Hermione these are Remus Lupin, Sirius Black, James Potter and Peter Pettigrew."

I tried not to react when they said Peter's name. Ginny squeezed my hand in comfort, she knew that I had negative feelings for him. I looked over to Sirius and saw that he was looking at someone. Right then I felt a hand on my shoulder and I quickly turned around grabbing my wand. Right there was Regulus. Ginny grabbed my hand and whispered,

"Hermione, it's alright. You are not there right now. It's a new start."

Luna was on my other side and gave me a hug. She did not have to say anything. I knew what she was thinking. I nodded and smiled to Regulus.

"What do you need Regulus?" I asked.

"We all are heading back to the common room. Thought I would show you the way there." Regulus stated.

"Oh, yes you have to go slither back to your worms of friends. If I were you I would beware of those gits. They will stab you in the back in an insist." Sirius said.

I turned to Sirius and glared at him. I knew these people from the future and knew what they did and gave up for my life to live. A few of those Slytherins were heros in my eyes. I got right up to his face and whispered,

"You will not be speaking that way about my house. You have no right to talk about these people like that. You do not know what these people go through and sacrifice or their life style at home." I turned back around to walk away from everyone and then I turned back and looked at Sirius and said,

"If I hear you talk about them like that again. You will regret it. I am no person to mess with. This is not a threat it is a warning."

I walked away and past a few of the Slytherins. They looked shocked and I looked at them like are they coming. We left the crowd around Sirius. I knew I would hear it later from the girls but I could not keep my mouth shut. I heard the whispers and just smirked as I went to my new house.
